Chapter 480 The male protagonist came back and was shocked by the change in Jinling
The People's Theater was opened by Gu Qingling. It is different from ordinary theaters. Although there is also singing here, the theater is more about dialogue between characters, which is closer to modern "drama".
Yes, that's right, it was those theater troupes that Gu Qingling had people collect before. After so many years of polishing, they finally produced "actors" who can sing, act, and speak lines.
The People's Theater will produce new plays every once in a while, and the number of performances every day is fixed. What will be performed during this period, and who will perform it, will be released in advance and posted on the bulletin board at the door.
Thanks to Gu Qingling's "Jinling Weekly" a few years ago, hundreds of common words were popularized to the common people. Now they can understand them even when they look at the bulletin board.
The atmosphere of learning tailoring is very strong here in Jinling. Even the aunts who buy vegetables on the street will take the new word list from "Jinling Weekly" and sign on the ground one by one.
When Li Wenchong passed by in a carriage, he showed a surprised expression when he saw this scene: "How long has it been since I came back? How did this place become like this?!"
Even in the capital, there are no grocery shopping ladies learning how to read, right?
Mr. Zhao, who was left in Jinling by Li Wenchong, could be said to have watched Jinling become what it is today bit by bit. He was also very lucky. Fortunately, the master left him behind, otherwise he would have missed so many new things.
The Jinling of today is not the Jinling of the past.
After Gu Qingling finished repairing the new market, people in Jinling City saw that the streets outside were wide, clean and smooth, and they were envious.
So, they spontaneously found the Yamen and wanted to build roads.
It just so happened that Magistrate Sun didn't want the inner city where he lived to be compared with the outside world, so the major families in Jinling held a meeting and based on their previous experience in building roads, the streets and walls in the city were also contracted to them in sections.
.
Whoever completes the repair can set up a merit sign and road sign next to it (and also work part-time as a billboard). The income from the advertising belongs to the family. How many families don't want this "several benefit"?
As a result, the city was gradually built, and the main road was no worse than the new market.
As for learning Chinese characters...
"Jinling Weekly" always had "gossips", "coupons" related to the vital interests of the people, and "literacy competitions" every six months, so they naturally became active.
It's so troublesome to ask others to read the newspaper for them. It's better to read it yourself.
Besides, people have also said that the words in this newspaper are not difficult. Even if you study one word a day, after one or two years, you will learn hundreds of common words. Reading the newspaper will definitely be no problem.
Even some rural enlightenment academies (invested by the Yao family) will use "Jinling Weekly" as a textbook to enlighten children.
Adults also want to know how their children are learning. They find that as long as they cooperate with the children at home to be students and let them be "little teachers", others will feel that they are very serious, and smarter parents will cooperate.
Through various means, in the past two or three years, there have been many more literate people in Jinling.
After hearing what Mr. Zhao said, Li Wenchong realized that Gu Qingling did mention something about the "Popularization of Commonly Used Words
She can sell books, but she never said that she would make all the people in the world literate.
Although she didn't say it, the effect it had...
What did Li Wenchong think of - if this were to be known to the world's scholars, what would happen? What Gu Qingling did was the foundation of the world's scholars.
"Master, we're here."
The carriage stopped in front of a village.
Li Wenchong got off the carriage and saw a sign hanging on it - Zuifeng Courtyard.
There is also a sign next to it, telling everyone very clearly that this place only accepts "reservations", and guests without reservations will not be accommodated.
A patch of golden flowers hangs down from the courtyard wall, and under the wall are rows of brilliantly blooming blue and pink hydrangeas, setting off the green mountains and green waters in the distance. The scenery here is unique.
Li Wenchong thought to himself that Gu Qingling was quite good at choosing a location. No wonder Lao Zhao said on the way here that the leisure village owned by Mrs. Yao was particularly famous in Jinling, and all the big families liked to come and play there.
At that time, he was surprised, which big family didn't have Zhuangzi and would go to other people's homes to do it?
But Lao Zhao smiled mysteriously and asked him to go to the scene and experience it himself.
Mr. Zhao stepped forward and rang the bell at the door of the courtyard. After a while, an old butler who had tidied up opened the door and opened the door. He checked the sign with Mr. Zhao, invited them into the courtyard, and asked his servants to help them pick up the carriage.
Drive to the yard.
As soon as you enter the entrance of the courtyard, you will see a huge screen wall, but unlike others, which are carved from huge rocks, this screen wall is made of bricks.
A whole wall of plants hangs on the fire-red bricks, arranged to look like a painting. At first glance, it looks quite interesting.
Li Wenchong stopped and watched for a while, and then under the introduction of the old housekeeper of Zui Feng Villa, he entered the back corridor.
It is also a rockery and flowing water, but the one in Zuifeng Villa is indeed different. The plants and flowers are like a fairyland. They are obviously ordinary flowers and trees that can be seen outside, but here, they have planted a kind of
A feeling you can't afford.
Li Wenchong was eye-opening.
"The cost of your other hospital is not low, right?"
The first thing Li Wenchong said when he met Gu Qingling was that he was concerned about the cost of Zuixin Hospital.
Gu Qingling was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Well...well, the flowers and trees are all ordinary varieties, but some special techniques are used to make them look particularly lush. If you like it, I will take you to the sunroom area later to see it.
, if there is anything you like, I will give you a few pots when the time comes."
Gu Qingling did not dare to say "just move out". After all, with Li Wenchong's identity, he must have many villas in Jinling. To make him move, she would have to vacate her Zuifeng villa.
When Gu Qingling builds each villa, he will think of ways to make the villa "self-sufficient". Only under such circumstances can the villa survive in the long term.
For example, Zui Feng Villa is famous for its ability to grow various flowers and trees. When you enter the inner room, you will feel like you have entered a fairyland on earth.
Not only can you taste the fruits and vegetables produced and sold by Zui Feng Villa, but you can also take away your favorite flowers, plants and trees.
Of course, the value of Zui Feng Villa is not low.
But for those who want to make friends and need a good place to stay, this kind of villa is the best place to go.
Gu Qingling also made a lot of money because of this.
Li Wenchong smiled: "I thought you would say give it to me."
He meant that the other courtyard was given to him.
Gu Qingling laughed: "Then I am not so generous. I have so many people to support, and it is rare to have a profitable leisure village. If I give this to you, how can I support them? Besides, with your status, you
Are you still missing something like this?”
Li Wenchong: "We are missing, especially a hostess."
The corner of Gu Qingling's mouth twitched: "We just met, do you care?"
"As for not seeing each other for one day, it's like three autumns apart, not to mention that we are indeed three autumns apart." Li Wenchong said sincerely, "Qingling, can I call you Qingling? You have been testing me for so long.
Moreover, I have settled everything with my imperial brother, can you give me a chance?"
